Have been bible-thumped a couple of times now by a 1,000 year old man, as well as a classmate in college, both of whom see nothing wrong or oppressive in the rule that men are supposed to dominate over women.<br />
<br />
Well, at least they're practicing their faith as it is outlined in their own doctrine.

The most appropriate qualifier I can think of here is 'rabid'.

Garrick, I think you more or less got the point I was trying to make, haha. What most people see as a 'good Christian' tend to be closer to my definition of 'bad Christian,' or at least bad people. As for 'bad Christian,' it could be taken as both someone who does not follow the teachings of Christ... or someone who is more 'Christian' (i.e. good) than most 'good Christians.'<br />
<br />
It's not exactly word play in this context, but I'm not sure what else to call it.

Woah, woah, woah, there's a difference between a good and bad christian? But it depends on how you mean "good christian" and "bad christian". Because christians who follow all that Jesus and the Bible says are good christians, but they're bad people (ignoring moral relativism and just going with the accepted morals of the place). And most people who are bad christians, are good people. So, it really depends on how you mean that. But, there's really no difference between a good christiand and a…

Thanks for all the comments, guys! I really appreciate them. I'm probably not near as suave as I made myself out to be in this blog post; I'm just glad I most likely will never have to see his ugly mug for the rest of my life if I can help it. Some people it's just better to steer clear of.<br />
<br />
As for him being smitten, I'm not so sure where threatening to take a swing at me in the past falls on the infatuation meter. =] But that's neither here nor there.

I do know what you mean Piper. In a strange way, I have a little more respect for Xians like Caleb because at least they're practicing their true faith and showing their true colors.

Sometimes the best way to deflect an asshole xtian, is to do exactly what you did so well. Pointing out the fact that while they may attend services, and proselytize for the lord... his actions are a beacon of negativity and further serve to turn people against the religion that (judging from your statements) he can't even live up to himself. Just because someone professes their belief in something doesn't mean they are the best example... but they sure don't like to look in the mirror much.…
